00:00Why don't we have a running cost countdown of the days and cost of Trump's weekend golf trips?
00:08Okay, alright. You know, it's a little tough because I'm sure being president is not easy.
00:21There is a certain, you know, like Camp David, if you remember when Jimmy Carter got elected president,
00:30he said Camp David is a waste of taxpayer money, blah, blah, blah.
00:34And then he realized what a rough job it was and he said, okay, we'll let Camp David still exist.
00:40That's very different than, you know, the stuff you see where Donald Trump goes and gets a huge Secret Service entourage
00:46and flies over an Air Force One to do laps in the Daytona 500.
00:51That's basically a campaign event.
00:53And there is no reason that that sort of money wasting should happen on the taxpayer account.
00:58I don't know how you write a law that throws that around cleanly, but that one is the way it was my life.
01:06And so that sort of thing is really an appropriate citizen engagement to make a website that actually tries to keep track of that.
01:15And a lot more transparency of what the true cost of everything that is done by the executive branch is.
